Which one for whom?

Why Italy?

Rome, Florence, and Venice. Three cities are enough. The real question is which one you decide, together, to linger in.

Italy is the easiest home a group trip can have, and the plan that comes apart the fastest. You each arrive with a list: the Colosseum, a bridge, a gondola. The list is fine. Set the pace wrong and the city turns into a queue.

Why Turkey?

Turkey is a country that can be visited in spring and autumn. It is ideal for group travel for 5-7 days. It can be reached by plane, and accommodation options are abundant.

Turkey is a country where different cultures meet and fascinates with its historical texture. It is recommended to visit this country between April and October, which can be explored in about 5-7 days. Traveling by plane provides easy access to many points in Turkey. It is generally suggested to start the first day in Istanbul; this way, you can experience both historical and modern life together.
